Chapter Text
It wasn't intentional.
Sure, Sunny had learnt to code on a computer older than he. And he might've made a dating sim for all 3 of his crushes. Yes, he maybe was proud of his 4 years worth of content.
But he didn't mean for Omocat to actually accept his demo, and pay him to make the game under their name, that was just ridiculous! He didn't mean for the game to reach its 10,000,000th download, and for his favorite streamer to play his godforsaken game, goodness no.
And it wasn't intentional for the game to skyrocket in the dating sim world. Hell, someone even had the wild audacity to call it "nectar from the dating sim gods themselves."
The game was a standard dating simulator, really.
After a traumatic event, the MC gets transported into a colorful world called headspace.
There they met the caring Mari, never moving from the safety of her picnic blanket. The suave knight Henry and his slightly airheaded brother, Kel. There's also, Aubrey, the sassy yet sweet girl who would do anything to get the MC's attention. The Vast Forest group completed by, Basil, the small farmer who's ofteb too nervous to speak to the MC in the first few acts.
The sadistic princess, Sweetheart, and her unusual lust for the MC. Or a blue lad of the name Captain Spaceboy, looking for a soulmate to patch the hole left by Sweetheart and to travel the galaxies with, and many other choices.
So many other choices...
Sunny saved his work-in-progress art for upcoming gacha event. Sighing, he flopped onto his bed.
He really hated his deadlines.
Due to Omocat's employment and their horrible high standards, he couldn't really leave his house.
Ever.
It's not like the real Mari was here to force him to go outside anymore.
He winced at the crude joke and rolled over to his phone and opened Omolab

Sunny was so thankful that most of Faraway Town did not have internet access...
And Sunny, OMORI, really wished it worked like that. Omocat just told him what to draw and boom, fan service for masses.
He quickly scrolled past that thread.
And continued to another one caught his interest
annaboreshun: Hearts and Rise Theories.
I've seen so many shit theories i
about this game, like the one where the MC and Mari are actually long lost siblings??
SPOILERS:
The MC's sibling is confirmed to be dead after she hung herself in CHAPTER 3 ACT 3 (ANYONE FROM SORA ROUTE) unless she can magically revive herself (which only Bowen and Dougie can canonically) then that's literally impossible
Or the other theory where some random 16-year-old made the game, all by himself. I know the more recent updates are slightly off schedule, but this is literally just ridiculous.

Sunny laid there and deciding to reply to the *outlandish* theories. He couldn't outright cofirm nor deny them, not without futherly endangering his civilian persona and contract. So he decided on a simple answer.

A very odd keyboard smash would surely satisfy the never quelling hunger of his game's players.
Just as Sunny was about to work on the chores his mother left him, a hearty, energized knock on the front door startled him.
"Hey, Sunny! It's Kel!"
Sunny, glanced at the time, it was still his allowed break time, and surely the dishes could wait.
Sunny made his way down stairs and opened the door, only to be met with a fist in his face.
Ow.
"OH MY GOD, SUNNY?? IS THAT REALLY YOU?"
Sunny tried to respond with a snarky comment, but all that came out was a hoarse hum. He simply nodded.
"Holy shit man! I didn't actually expect you to come out." Kel smiled. "Huh' that for sale sign is gone, did Ms. Suzuki changed her mind about moving?"
Well, she really didn't change her mind. He grimaced, but nodded along with Kel.
"Oh man, Basil is gonna be so pumped to hear that the move was canceled!"
Basil…?
....
Scarecrow, angel or vampire...?
Basil…
Oh wait.. REAL
Basil!
Sunny gripped Kel's hand and dashed around the block, careful to avoid the cat hopping around.
Sunny, hands now sweaty, knocked onto Basil's door only to meet with a short brunette woman.
"Oh dear? Are you the new tenant that was supposed to be moving in this week?"
Sunny shook his head and pointed to himself
"Sunny, Basil is friend," he croaked out and coughed a fit after
"Ah! Polly! Hello this is Sunny, he's Ms. Suzuki's son. Turns out his mom called the move!" Kel grinned, out of breath.
"Oh so you're the mysterious angsty Sunny I've heard all about! Please do come in and take your sh-"
Polly glanced at Sunny black socks,
"or well dust them off?"
Sunny followed her instruction when he saw Basil tending to a gigantic plant. Sunny waved to Basil and the boy spilled this watering can over the floor.
Sunny stepped over the puddle, wrapped his arms around Basil's shoulders and smiled.
It wasn't a manic drool. Or even an ecstatic beam. Just a simple and modest grin.
